Quarter Round | Trinity Bamboo

When to Use: Quarter Round is used to conceal the required expansion and contraction space between walls and other vertical surfaces and the bamboo wood flooring. For both Solid and Engineered flooring, Trinity Bamboo recommends that a ½” expansion and contraction gap be left between all walls, door frames, etc. and the edge of the flooring. Quarter Round is sometimes used under cabinet toe kicks where a wall base won’t fit, and/or at the base of a stairs to provide a visual transition from the floor to the wall or vertical surface. Adding a Quarter Round in front of a Wall Base adds a decorative touch.

Installation Note: Quarter Round moldings should be installed after the bamboo wood flooring is in place. The molding should be fastened to the wall (not to the sub-floor) to ensure that the installed floor can expand and contract below it. Use a quality construction adhesive or a finish nail. Before nailing, pre-drill the molding to avoid splitting.

End Cap Threshold | Trinity Bamboo

When to Use: End Cap thresholds are often used at exterior doorways as a transition between bamboo wood flooring and the doorway threshold. End Cap thresholds are also used to transition a bamboo wood floor to a different flooring type (tile, carpet, etc.), providing for a professional looking installation.

Installation Note: When installing End Cap thresholds, it is important not to attach the molding directly to the bamboo wood flooring as the floor itself must be able to expand and contract under the lip of the molding by ½” in either direction. To attach the molding, apply one or two 1/4 inch beads of construction adhesive to the subfloor and seat the molding in place. If nailing the End Cap threshold to the wood subfloor, pre-drill the molding to prevent splitting and nail to the subfloor behind the lip of the molding. When nailing, be careful not to obstruct the floor’s expansion space under the molding.

Overlap Reducer | Trinity Bamboo

When to Use: Overlap Reducers are used with Floating Floors to provide a transition between from a bamboo wood floor to a different flooring type (tile, carpet, etc.), providing for a professional looking installation.

Installation Note: When installing an Overlap Reducer molding on a floating floor, it is important not to attach the Overlap Reducer directly to the bamboo wood flooring as the floor must be able to expand or contract under the lip of the molding by ½” in either direction. To attach the molding, apply one or two 1/4 inch beads of construction adhesive to the subfloor and seat the molding in place. If nailing the Overlap Reducer to the wood subfloor, pre-drill the molding to prevent splitting and nail to the subfloor behind the lip of the molding. When nailing, be careful not to obstruct the floor’s expansion space under the molding.
